Conditional formatting by date-a group of cells in red

I am trying to highlight a group of cells in red if the date in a certin cell is todays date or older. For example if the date in cell E32 is 10/18/06 or beyond then the group of cells in row one will turn red and stay red until the date in cell E32 is updated to a date in the future. Please help me with the writing of this formula.

Thanks,

Dustin

Pick a cell and enter say A1

=TODAY()

Then use conditional formatting using the cell with the format as your reference. (If cell is <= A1)
